Release timeline for TSLint v6

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

There are a bunch of otherwise-actionable issues and pull requests marked as breaking changes. Let's come up with a timeline for getting to that fabled TSLint 6.x version! 🙌

Straw man proposal:

• 8/1: close new rule issues lacking PRs per Roadmap: TSLint -> ESLint #4534
• 8/2: release the last 5.X minor version
• 8/2-9: one week waiting period in case there needs to be a 5.X patch, in case of critical bugs
• 8/10: remove ignore 'breaking change' label from existing issues & PRs, and start merging them in
• 8/24: release tslint@6.0.0-beta0
• 9/1: release tslint@6.0.0-beta1
• 9/8: release tslint@6.0.0

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me 👍

Bump @adidahiya - are you able to publish a minor version update?

[adidahiya]

@JoshuaKGoldberg sorry for the delay, I was OOTO the past 2 weeks... I can release a minor version this week.

updated release timeline in OP

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

😅 looks like we blew past that timeline. The 'breaking change' issues and PRs now ok to merge are linked here. I'll edit the revised timeline in the OP to push forward a month and start merging these in (read: bugging authors for merge conflicts).

FYI @adidahiya

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

@adidahiya I think we're ready to release a beta?

[adidahiya]

@JoshuaKGoldberg sounds good, it's on my list to do this weekend.

[adidahiya]

just released v6.0.0-beta0

[JoshuaKGoldberg]

@adidahiya are we ready to release 6.0.0?

[adidahiya]

6.0.0 has been released and marked as deprecated on NPM. This will mean that new installs of the package will get the warning, while existing installs of 5.x will not.
